Re: Decency on this forum?

Decency has been restored.
Thank you


We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

Thanks, I already knew who the President is.

Common, this is awkward. The thing is,,,,,you just aren't very smart.
A man's got to know his limitations.

Time and time again you bring a  knife to a gunfight.

Everyone on the Exchange knows you are the smartest. Fancy boy reigns supreme!
But sometimes being the "smartest" one can be detrimental at times. Right? 


 “We hold these truths to be self-evident,”  former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

So sad to see such hate come from common, on Easter Sunday, of all days.
I will pray for you. Honestly.

This is the day of Resurrection. 
Let us shine with the feast,
let us embrace one another,
let us say, brethren, and because of the Resurrection,
let us forgive all things to those who hate us.
And in this wise, exclaim, saying:

Christ is risen from the dead,
trampling down death by death;
and upon those in the tombs, bestowing life.

Quite a few posts.
We have had our problems, for sure.
But I think that we have kept ourselves head and shoulders above what I have seen on other sites where "discussion" amounts to no more than tossing grenades like "oh yea, well Obama,,,, or Oh yea, well Trump,,,,,,"
It's always been pretty thoughtful.

Strange, but when I was posting this from my work computer I started chatting with the caseworker who sits across from me.

It's what he said that caught my attention:  "No one knows how to have a conversation anymore"  

The New Exchange is like crack to me.  

One of the few places I can go for an intelligent conversation

Your co-worker must be talking about republicans v. Democrats, conservatives v. Progressives, and Fox "news" v. MSNBC.
